Thanks rodge827, that's a useful suggestion. I had been considering dialing back the frequencies I was allowing the Dual Core to modify. I will give it a try.
The Dual Core usually sets my compensation to 6.0 when I let it run a typical calibration. I've been finding myself actually increasing this number in an attempt to regain the warmth in the midrange that I feel like the unit is taking away. I'll try dialing it back and see how that goes. I feel that when I have the compensation set quite low that the midrange is entirely hollowed out, although that might just be my impression upon moving from "too much" bass to "flat" bass.
I've also already lowered the headroom to 0.... it does help.
I think one of the main issues here is that the dual core is clearly having an effect on the entire frequency spectrum, even when you ask it to only calibrate up to 150hz. Putting the unit in the signal chain at all clearly has a very tangible effect, even in bypass mode. I don't know if this has to do with the second A/D/A conversion the signal undergoes.
